The Struggle

I remember this night, sitting outside of a coffee shop with one of my creative friends @mynameisceecee. I was jobless and pushing myself each day to get my creative juices flowing. I was trying to figure out where my life was heading. The struggle was real. The more I tried to chase my “dream” the more distant it got, but I kept running after it. I never stopped.

We decided that we would bounce ideas off each other on how to make our dreams become a reality. Thinking back to that night, both of us have come a long way. CeeCee moved to Atlanta to pursue her dream, who is now living with issues, a really well-known band, and traveling taking photos of musicians. The dream became reality. I was struggling to figure out what job to get or what path to take. What was I good at?

Soon enough, everything fell into place. I’m beyond blessed to be where I am now, writing this post in MY OWN blog, and following my interior design passion with no doubts.

I fell in love ♥

Interior love. Love at first sight. Color theory. I fell in love with the ambient of this space, it was inviting and calm.

White: Relates a sense of cleanliness and purity. It is great for defining a space, but use white in conjunction with other colors since too much reads as sterile.

Black: An assertion of power. Use black for statement pieces that you want to draw the eye.

Brown: Like green, brown’s natural roots give it a relaxing touch. Choose it for rooms where the family gathers and furniture groupings that will incite conversation.

Yellow: Associated with happiness, creation, and creativity. It works well in combination with a calming neutral and in rooms with lots of natural light to create a peaceful environment.

About Distinct Thoughts

Distinct Thoughts was created to connect with others emotionally and visually. I want to inspire whomever comes across me. Through my highest energy, personality and my own creativity. You will be seeing a cycle of different things that I find inspiring and beautiful.

Call it what you will, I call it my life’s perspective. A lifestyle blog with my unique fashion style, photography, ART, interior design, the beauty of food, health and fitness, travel and motivational quotes. I’ll probably be connecting and creating along the way, things that I have not yet listed here.

About Me

My name is Lili, 30 years of life journeys currently living in Austin, Texas. I’m originally from Monterrey, Mexico. Creative at heart, mi amor resides in all art forms. I see beauty everywhere which sometimes makes my life a little messy. I find everything so distracting and beautiful. One day I feel like the goddess who puts her mind into things and feels she has everything it takes to change herself, the world & others. I continue to create new adventures for myself. I haven’t mastered a skill or talent fully but I love everything about me. I learn with my changes, experiences and my daily life.

I started with a design major; Interior Design.  Interior design, photography & fashion will forever hold my heart. My goal now is to gain confidence, in whatever it is I put my mind into. Writing has always been challenging and being a “pro” does not run through my blood.  Just a heads up if you see any ‘flaws’  just go with the flow and vibe with me. I’m just here to have fun.

Let’s vibe together & love deeply!

Mexican traditional house interior design is so interesting.

I see beauty anywhere I lay an eye on. Going back to my grandmother’s house after a few years of not being there, made me feel so culturally connected to where I come from. The choices of furniture, texture, and patterns they used to decorate the interior of their beloved home was so beautiful. Nothing inside matched or floated together. The bedroom tile and living-kitchen space tile had different colors. The walls were a soft peachy pink and the furniture, and bed covers were very old fashion with different colors, texture, and patterns. The photo frames hanging on the walls were off centered hanging from a very crooked rusty wire. The decorative pieces they choose to put on top of their dresser were creepy. They had so much innocence in them and saw value to everything they had, from a teddy bear that the fur was no longer soft but hard, from a wedding arrangement they brought home from a relative’s wedding. They would keep it for years! I loved going to Mexico when I was little I use to always love seeing all the “new” things they had laying around their bedrooms everything was just so interesting at that time.

It was beautiful in its own way. The beauty of interiors is art to my eyes.
